Bought JJ power tubes for a Peavey Delta Blues. Retubing that cost me $100 because of the arcane shipping policies across the line; we just don't get free shipping in Canada.
This Garnet cost me $100 and I'm loath on my meager income to double that buy by retubing when I'm not sure of the result. However, throwing away $20 on Russian tubes that may not handle the plate voltage is also silly.
If anyone has links to affordable Canadian tube merchants that would be fun - I have had some success dealing with Pacific TV in Victoria and may check them out again.
Thanks for playing everyone
